More than three mLn died of Covid-19 - John Hopkins

WASHINGTON, April 17 (KUNA) -- The global death toll from the coronavirus topped a staggering three million people Saturday amid repeated setbacks in the worldwide vaccination campaign and a deepening crisis in places such as Brazil, India and France.
The number of lives lost, as compiled by Johns Hopkins University, is about equal to the population of Kyiv, Ukraine; Caracas, Venezuela; or metropolitan Lisbon, Portugal.
It is bigger than Chicago (2.7 million) and equivalent to Philadelphia and Dallas combined.
According to the University, the true number is believed to be significantly higher due to a number of factors, including the many cases overlooked in the early stages of the outbreak that began in Wuhan, China, at the end of 2019. (end) asj.mb
